ŞİDDET COĞRAFYASININ (KERBELA) BİR ŞAİRİ: FUZÛLÎ’DE ŞİDDETİN YANSIMASI

Abstract

Violence is a phenomenon that we constantly encounter throughout history at both individual and social levels. Ancient texts, which express the lives of societies in a realistic or close to realistic way, often include incidents of violence. Classical Turkish literature has a wide thematic range and includes themes such as love, nature, philosophy, religion and mysticism. Among these themes, violence also occupies an important place. However, violence in literary texts does not appear in a direct physical sense, but rather as a phenomenon with metaphorical and symbolic meanings. In the texts of classical Turkish literature, acts of violence are generally seen as individual-centered, and the acts of violence in the texts are considered as the poet’s emotional actions by centering on himself. In this study, the view of the concept of violence in classical Turkish literature texts is evaluated through sample poems in Fuzûlî’s Turkish divan. Violence in Fuzûlî’s poems is usually associated with the pains of love and longing, and is treated with a masochistic sense of pleasure and devotional psychology. By depicting physical and psychological violence in depth, these poems reveal the effects of love on the human soul.
